PALM COAST — A Palm Coast man is accused of threatening to kill his wife after the couple argued about whose responsibility it is to change the cat litter, according to a Flagler County sheriff's report. Avelino Urbano Garon, 59, was arrested Aug. 18 and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the report states. His wife reported to deputies that they had been fighting “all day” on Aug. 17 and that it continued into the evening hours.“Avelino was becoming angrier and threatening to throw the cat against the wall,” according to the report. He then “took possession of a knife” and said to his wife: “Do you want me to kill you? I will kill you.” “Avelino made a verbal statement advising that he believes a wife is responsible for cleaning the kitty litter box and that he did no wrong in threatening (her),” a deputy reported. Garon was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility and later released on $1,000 bail.
